Then why are you trying to disagree with me here? The entire point is that this entire system is broken and doesn’t work, that track records of success do not mean shit. These people are too subject to the whims of a company that doesn’t take into account the money they have historically made and will likely continue to make.
Video games are not a consistent, predictable revenue stream 99% of the time. They come in waves. You have an entire generation of c-suites who cannot comprehend this idea.
I’m disagreeing with the idea that Hi-Fi Rush and the one branch of the Marvel Rivals team being let go are a regular occurrence. In general, teams are being let go because their games aren’t making money. Their games aren’t making money because there are too many games out there that are also spending too much money on their production, and they’re being subsidized by a consumer base that’s stretched too thin to make it all work for everyone that was in the industry as little as 3 years ago.
